First of Several South Orange-Maplewood BOE Candidates Forums Takes Place Oct 3

The first of several South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education candidates forums is scheduled to take place this Wednesday night, October 3 at 6:30 p.m. at the Maplewood Library, 50 Baker Street, Maplewood, NJ.

“If you can’t attend, it will be broadcast live on the South Orange Maplewood Cares about Schools Facebook Page and recorded to be shown on our public access cable channel [SOMAtv],” announced South Orange Maplewood Cares About Schools administrator Elissa Malespina.

Village Green contacted Walter Fields of SOMA Black Parents Workshop to ask if BPW would be hosting a forum this year. Fields responded, “No, but we will engage the candidates regarding issues of equity. I will keep you posted.”
